Drilling for Artesian Water.

The drills were started in the West
End syndicate grounds today, and there
will be no let up until results are
reached. The machinery is all In place
at both ends and operations have been
begun at both the east and the west end
Of the syndicate property. The present
machinery is only calculated for dis
lance Of from 800 to 700 feet. When that
point is reached steam will be substitu-
ted for the present power and the boring
continued until the results sought, pure
waters, are reached. The contracts now
signed are for such depth as can be
reached with the present machinery,
which is put In to save time and keeps
the work going until steam machinery
can be substituted.
The engineers on street car track and
excavation for lake are not quite
through with taking levels, but will be
in a short time when work on track and
lake will be pushed for all it is worth.
Not an hour Of working time has been
lost since operations were begun, as
noted by the LIGHT two weeks since,
and there will be no halt called until the
whole West End is made the most ellgi-
BILE residence ground in Texas.

He Was a Juror.

Mr.. John Stanfield, an old g.ay-head-
ed man, who ought to have known bet
ter, attempted to force an entrance into
the private residence of Theodore Artzt
Tuesday night, and because Artzt OBJ
jeoted, cursed him horribly and called
his wife "his woman" Instead of re-
senting the insult, as he should have
done and felt like doing, ArtZt blew his
police whistle, waited in vain for the APP
pearance Of policeman, and finally, on
finding Sanitary Inspector Galan In In
selmann's saloon, after a good deal Of
persuasion induced him to arrest STAN
field. Instead Of appearing In police
court yesterday morning to answer the
charge against him, Stanfield, who was
a member Of the jury trying the damage
suit of Tatum va. A. B. Frank q Co., In
the district court, took bis seat In the
jury box. The policeman who was sent
after him served his warrant yesterday
at the noon recess of the district court
and the case In the police court was set
for trial this morning. Before court,
however, he pleaded guilty before the
police justice and was fined $40 on the
opening of court without any testimony
being heard against him. AS the case
was rather aggravated, Mr.. Artzt thinks
this was not q fair showing on his side,
particularly when he, ArtZt, gets into
any trouble, he always "gets II In the
neck" hard. Mr.. StaDfield has been ex-
cused from any further service as juror
in the damage case In the district court,
and the case is being heard before ii
jurors.

A Woman Quarrel.

A time was had in Justice McAllis-
ter's court this morning. Mrs. Tsrran-
tho, wife of Military plaza peddler,
who alec INDUCES in preaching the Cos
pei Oh the plaza, became involved in a
quarrel and fight with Mrs. Huberich,
mother of Gabe Huberich, who is now
in jail charged with aggravated assault
on Mrs. Tarrantino. The charge against
Mrs. Huberich was for making threats
against Mrs. Tarrantino, but as the lat
ter declared to the judge that she was
not the least bit afraid OF her, the judge
dismissed the case. A charge has been
made before Justice Barnes against Mrs.
TarrantinO by Mrs. Huberich, and that
worthy official will now have bit Of

down to rest before he reached the cate. and
when he had come SO far, he must do as Alan
did, and take his seat upon one corner. Here,
then, he sat awhile and painted; but now his
thoughts were sensibly lightened; now, with
the trunk standing just inside the door, some
part of his dissertation from the house of
crime had been effected, and the cabman
need not pass the garden wall. 1t was wonder
full how that relieved him; for the house, in
his eyes, was a place to strike the most
cursory beholder with suspicion, rs though
the very windows had cried murder.
But there was to be no remission of the
strokes of fate AS he thus sat. taking
breath in the shadow of the wall anil topped
about by sparrows, it CHANGED that ! 20
roved TO the fastening of the door; and what
he saw plucked him to his feet. The thing
locked with a spring; once the door was
closed, the bolt shot of itself; and without n
key, there was no means of entering from
without.
He saw himself obliged to ono of two dis
tasteful and perilous alternatives: either to
shut the door altogether and set his portman-
teau out upon the wayside, a wonder to all
beholdels; or to leave the door aiar so that
any thievish tramp or holiday school boy
might stray in and stumble on the grisly So
cret. To the last as the least desperate, his
mind inclined; but he must insure himself
that he was unobserved. He peered out, and
down the long road; it lay deeply empty.
He went TO the corner of the by road that
comes by way of Dean; there also not pas
senger was stirring. Plainly it was, now or
never, the high tide of his affairs; and he
drew the door as close as he burst, slipped a
pebble in the chink, and made off downhll
to find u cab.
Half way down a gate opened and a
troop of Christmas children sailed forth in
the most cheerful humor, followed more
soberly by smiling mother.
And this is Christmas day" thought
John; and could have laughed aloud in tragic
bitterness of heart

lnitered home from the academy, and his
first hat when he came briskly back from

"Ihcy might have at least respected my
pm, he thought, and he was moved as by a
slight, and began at once to recolcct that he
was here an intcrlOper, in n strange house,
which he had entered almost by IA burglary,
and where at any moment he might be scan
dalouSly challenged.
He moved at once his hat still in his hand,
to the door of his fathers room, opened it
and entered. Mr.. Nicholson sat in the same
place and posture as on that last Sunday
morning; only he was older, and grayer, and
sterner; and as he now glanced up and
caught the eye of his son, a strange commo-
ton and n dark flush sprung into his face.

checrfully, for this was a moment against

Climbing Mount Marty.

The Yankton Press of Wednesday
says:
Upon the train from Sioux City last
night was party of five Sioux Falls
rustlers, who came to Yankton to in
flnence, in behalf of their own city, the
location of the Catholic see of south
Dakota. r. +. Pettigrew marched in
front and following him came NJ.
Germ, j. Norton. II. j. Manning and
Rev. Father Msher, and to the accom-
plishment of their intention they left
for Bishop Martyrs residence as soon
as they reached this city, about III
o'clock, and did not return until 3 this
morning. They must have found the
bishop very pleasant host. They
went home this morning.
The delegations which come to
Yankton from outside places in pur-
suit of the see city and climb so labor
iously to the summit of Mount Marty,
find there very entertaining bishop,
and as they come out of the front door
of his mansion they obtain q blrdseye
view of the see city they came to see
Yankton nestles snugly up against the
base of Mount Marty and under the
protecting hands of the bishop of tht
diocese

A Double Burglary.

Burglars entered the saloon of James
Gormley through back window Fri
day night and forcing door into the
front room, got access to the drawer
behind the bar from which they ab-
stracted some $6 in change. They also
helped themselves to about l ,OOo cigars
and bottle of whisky, and pocketed a
pair of revolvers. From Gormley's the
same parties went to Warfeld's but
took nothing of value. Yesterday
morning two men were hanging
around the Milwaukee depot in a state
of lntoxication and scattering cigars
with a lavish hand, and these were
suspected of being the burglars. The
officers put in the day looking for them
but they took their own time to walk
out of town, being last seen between
hereiand Alexandria in the afternoon

and hurrah boys, the swift rush of the chase,
the thrilling scamper cross country, the mad
dash through the Long islanders pumpkin
patch-also the mad dash, dash, dash Of
the farmer, the low moan OF tho
disabled and frozen toed hen as the
whooping horsemen run her down; the
wild Shrek of the children, the low melan-
choly wall of tho frightened shoat as he fees
away to his strawpile, the quick yet 1nuffled
plunk of the frozen tomato and the dull
scrlnch of the seed cucumber.
All-all indicate that our great national
autumn sport, the sport which has for years
characterized us as q nation and been imi-
tated to some extent in England and our
other colonies, is here.
Tue huntsnan now takes the fannels of
his fox, r1lbs his stiffened limbs with garg-
ling oil, ties a bunch Of firecrackers to his
tail and runs him around the barn few
times to see if he is in good order.
The foxhound is a cross Of the bloodhound,
the greyhound, the bulldog and the chump.
| When you step on his tail he is said to be in
| full cry. The foxhound obtains from his an
cestors on the bloodhound side of the house
his keen scent, which enables him while in
full cry cross country to pause and hunt for
chipmunks. He also obtains from the blood
hound branch of his family wild yearning
to star in an "Uncle Tom" company, and
watch Little Eva meander up the fiume at 81
per week. From the greyhound he gets his
most miraculous speed, which enables him to
attain a rate of velocity so great that he is
unable to pause during the excitement of the
chase, frequently running so far during the
day that it takes him a week to get back,
when, Of course, all interest has died out
From the bulldog the foxhound obtains his
great tenacity of purpose, his deep seated
convictions, his quick perceptions, his love of
home and his clinging nature. From the
chump the foxhound gets his high intellectu-
nlity and that mental power which enables
him to distinguish almost at glance the sail
ent points of difference between 2-year- old
steer and SO bill
4 The foxhound is about two feet in height,
and 100 of them would be considered an ample
number for a quiet little fox hunt. Some
hunters think this number inadequate, but
unless the fox be unusually skittish and crawl
under the barn 120 foxhounds ought to be
enough. The trouble generally is that hunt
ers make too much noise, thus soaring the
fox 30 that he tries to get away from them.
This necessitates hard riding and great activ.
ity on the part of the whippersin. Brighten.
ing fox almost always results in sending
him out Of the road and compelling horsemel
TO stop in order to take down panel Of fence
every little while that they may follow the
animal, and before you can get the fence put
up again the owner is on the ground, and after
you have made change with him and mounted
again the fox may be nine miles away. Try
by all means to keep your fox in the road!

Where is the Per Diem!

Yankton Press: The cost of the
Huron militia encampment was Sl2,.
245, not inclusive of the heavy cost to
regulations during that period of pomp
and panoply. 1t is probable that the
per diem OF the soldiers is included in
this aggregate, but as the soldiers have
not yet received their pay they are
naturally anxious to know what has
become of their money. 1t can hardly
he possible that this fund was loaned
out on short notes and that collections
are slow.
